Quick-n-Easy Storage Bin Makeover

It's that time of year when we all start reliving that nightmare.... you know.... the end of July is drawing near & you decide to take a lil peek at your classroom.....OMIword! I really want to just run away from that scary sight! Do you ever try to convince yourself that its not gonna be so bad??? I do! "I was such a better packer-upper this year so I'll have the room put back together in no time at all!" {Ha! Ha!} It just doesn't happen! I've decided this year that I'm getting rid of lots of stuff. My motto is: "If I haven't used it-LOSE IT!" So after working in my classroom for just a few hours, the trash pile is HUGE! I also want to color coordinate all of my storage and I have oodles of storage bins but they don't all match my color scheme...sooo.... I picked up some bright fun-colored spray paint at Lowes {be sure to get the kind made for plastic otherwise it peels off} and transformed some ugly REALLY UGLY storage bins into like-new cute ones!

Yellowing plastic....ughhhh....super UgLy right?!?

Just work a little magic with that pink spray paint....

....and that fun blue and green spray paint...

...and Wowza! They're like new!!!

Now I just need to make a few more labels for the rest of those bins! I'll be posting more pics as soon as my classroom is a little more put together! :)

These turned out great! I have some red, blue, yellow and green bins that do not match my room at all. I might have to see if I can find some black spray paint for them! I am spending ALL day in my room tomorrow!Mrs. Laue's Littles

I was just wondering how the Valspar plastic spray paint has held up for you? I used Krylon's plastic (Fusion) version, and was sadly disappointed. I had to throw away all of my plastic baskets I painted. Thanks for any insight you can provide!
